WHAT IS MY EQUIVALENT? An amazing question, in fact when I first heard it I did not know the meaning of it and what it represented. Practicing to ask this question has been really enabling me to have sanity towards some of the things and situations in my life that help me see clearly especially at the moments of deep confusion and resentment. Ugh... how much I struggled with the meaning of this and even now recommending to you to listen to this podcast I am short for words. The only thing that I can tell you is that practicing and asking this question got me out of toxic and unproductive thoughts and behaviours. This question is an invitation to slow down and see what is real, as all of us get caught up in our thinking and judgments of others. This simple question of where is it in my life what I see and criticize in people/situations/even politics? That behaviour that I most resent out there, where is that in me? I get astonished time and time again, that what I see externally always reflects what is going on internally and those behaviours that I most resent out there are what is current in my world. And when the question is asked, there is no more place for resentment and blame - there is a sense of compassion. Yes, compassion, you heard it right. Try it and you will see for yourself and this may be an invitation to sanity and peace that you've been wanting as you realize that "we are all lost children looking for an identity, looking for a way to feel strength, to feel like we matter..."

Habits To Boost Your Energy: To surround yourself with energetic people, you have to first become one yourself. Boost Your Energy - Beware of Energy Vampires: Remove yourself from habits or people that drain your energy and bring negativity into your life. - Shake Up Your Routine: Break free from the monotony. Try something new every day to keep your mind sharp and your energy high. - Get Off Your Phone: Put down the screen and engage with the real world. Social media silently drains your energy and focus. - Fuel Your Mind Right: Feed your brain with inspiring books, podcasts, and videos that uplift and energize you. Your mental diet matters.

https://lnkd.in/evhA9Uz5 Another great short summary of key takeaways from a collection of #podcast interviews conducted by Jake and Damian on #HighPerformance : • We are human beings not human doings - live in that moment, be there. • Value emotional literacy - understand and be able to express your feelings. • It's not the fact, it's how you react. • The power of perspective - take a step back to see the bigger picture. • You're allowed to wallow - it can be useful buffering time at the beginning of an #OODA loop. You might need encouragement to bust out of your funk though. • The Chinese word for crisis doesn't technically mean opportunity as well as disaster, but apparently 危机与机会并存/机遇与挑战并存 means "opportunity accompanies crisis/challenge". This can be used to describe a time of change, which may also bring opportunity if you are open to looking for it. #personaldevelopment #livelifelearn #podcast #health #Movember

“You’re lucky that you can find the time to take a long walk. I’m way too busy for that.” Do you ever find yourself so snowed under that you simply can’t spare even 5 minutes, never mind take a few hours to yourself for a long walk? A few years ago I used to see friends taking time out of their working days for themselves, and wonder “How the hell do they do that? They must have nothing to be at.” But these were busy, successful people, and deep down I knew that wasn’t the case. But still… just how did they find the time? They had broken their vicious cycle of overwhelm. Reclaimed small segments of time, enough to clear some headspace, enough to regain sight of the bigger picture. A few minutes here and there is just the thin end of the wedge. Soon you’ll free up an hour, then a couple, and there you have it - walk time! And here’s another secret…. They were listening to podcasts and sometimes making phone calls while they walked. Proper multi-tasking! Now I carve several hours out of my day, a couple of times a week, to do just that. Take a good 1-2 hour walk. Weather-permitting, of course. It’s good for the mind and body in equal measure. If you’d like to find out about the changes I made in my own business which allowed me to step back from “always doing” and regain some “thinking time”, download my free ebook in the comments below.

This month’s RARE SENSE book recommendation is “7 1/2 Lessons About the Brain” by Lisa Feldman Barrett, a fantastic little book that everyone should read. In 125 pages, she provides critical insights into how the three pounds of matter between your ears work to shape your experience. The lessons (one per chapter) are: 1. Your brain is not for thinking (this is the half lesson) 2. You have one brain (not three) 3. Your brain is a network 4. Little brains wire themselves to their world 5. Your brain predicts (almost) everything you do 6. Your brain secretly works with other brains 7. Brains make more than one kind of mind 8. Our brains can create reality Get the book and spend 20-30 minutes every morning for a week diving into the details.

These days I make more mistakes than I can count with consideration to my memory and language deficits due to my ischemic stroke. Today, I unwrap the gift of mistakes and explore how they can actually nourish our holistic health and well-being. Learning and growing from our mistakes with a bit of self-compassion allows us to bounce back much faster and stronger. It’s about asking, "What can this teach me?" Maybe it’s a skill gap you can bridge or a chance to spruce up a part of your character. It’s like turning on a light in a room you didn’t know was dark. After you've adjusted your sails, carry those lessons through into all your affairs. Let your mistakes guide your decision making and relationships. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Why heal alone what we can flourish together! Mistakes enable us to renovate our whole selves to live our best life. #mistakesarelessons #learnfrommistakes #MistakesAreOpportunities #readsandrecovery #recoverydailypodcast #recoverypodcast #recoverydaily #strokerecovery #strokesurvivor https://lnkd.in/dKSsyP6x P.S. 📚Are you a part of our Reads and Recovery initiative this month?
